Tales of East Africa with Illustrations by Jamilla Okubo

Folktales from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania

Welcome to a world of magical adventure—a place where a boy spares the life of a fearsome monster, a flock of doves brings a girl back from the dead, and a hare wreaks havoc among all the other animals.

Translated and transcribed by folklorists and anthropologists in the early 20th century, these stories evoke the distinctive beauty and irresistible humor of East African folklore. 

Tales of East Africa will enthrall fans of fairytales and captivate those interested in East Africa's rich history and culture. The tales come alive alongside bold, contemporary art in this special illustrated edition. Artist Jamilla Okubo pairs each tale with a bold and vibrant illustration.
